Acte Préalable

Acte Préalable is a Polish classical music record label founded in 1997.[1] The name makes reference to an unfinished mystical composition by Scriabin, L'acte préalable, the 'preconditional' movement to his planned apocalyptic work Mysterium.[2]

The label is known for recordings, sometimes premiere commercial recordings, of works by lesser known Polish composers - including Grażyna Bacewicz[3], Zygmunt Stojowski.[4] and others.
